It is yet again coming close to that time of the year when the fabulous, wonderful and amazing people of EVE gather in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, for 3 days of partying, beer, lectures, beer, roundtables, beer and much, much more! And beer of course.
EVE Fanfest 2007 will be held November 1st to 3rd this year, so order your flight and hotel package, get your fanfest pass, pack your bags and then just sit and wait for about 8 months... Maybe you don't need to pack just yet, but make sure you order the package to catch the "early bird special" provided by Icelandair. Please note that you will need to purchase the fanfest pass separatley from the flight and hotel package.
This year will be bigger than before, better than before and with more Devs (and beer) than before! Head over to the EVE Fanfest 2007 page and read all there is to know about it!

Age restriction to be present at a place that serves alcohol is 18, which therefore is also the age limit to attend the Fanfest. The age limit to purchase alcohol is 20 though, so if you're over 18 but under 20 you can attend but you can't drink.

I went to the Icelandair to check out the deals (I'm in Canada), and I saw that when leaving from Minneapolis I can get 3 additional nights from 49$ a night. I figure sweet gig - but when I actually try to book it from Minneapolis I can only get the standard package of 3 nights or whatever.
Is this something EVE needs to discuss with Icelandair?
You can see the Minneapolis deal quote here
I'd really like to go, but without this additional nights deal it makes the cost somewhat unfeasabile. Anybody know what the real deal here is?
Thanks.

I think you might need to contact them for additional days, best is to contact their Customer Support first and ask how it works.

I don't know, but there's always Copenhagen, and I believe there are trains going straight from Gothenburg to Copenhagen via the airport, otherwise you could just switch trains at Malm÷.

The packages are limited to airports Icelandair flies to, which doesn't seem to include the US west coast. Your solution would probably be to get a flight to an airport Icelandair flies from.

See if you can find a carrier that flys to Iceland from your airports & book a hotel separately. Could work out cheaper than Icelandair. ____________________________________________

Get another hotel, the Icelandair package really only contains flight and hotel anyway. I googled Hotel.is, but there are probably other sites. Just google and check different websites and I'm sure you'll find something suitable.
You could also contact Icelandair customer support and see if they can help you change the order, provided you ordered your flight from them of course.

Just checked the sites and if I am not totally mistaken this is the package deals for Sweden and Denmark. Correct me if I am wrong.

Well 400km to Sthlm and 350km to Malm÷ so it's same same but different, the distance isn't realy the issue tho but more the extra cost to an allready fairly expensive trip.

Last year was a great time and anyone even considering the trip should definitely go. It was a ton of fun and I just bought my ticket for this year.
Here are some of my recommendations to CCP to make it even better this year: 1) PvP Tournament: give play-by-play commentary over a broadcasting system (like on EVE TV) to generate excitement and let the crowd know who's who and what's going on. This can be a lot more exciting than last year. It needs an active Host person. 2) Give out official laminated name-with-corporation neck badges to each player like at other fan fests. It helps you identify your friends/enemies and encourages socialization. Or at the very least, post a cool looking template on the website that users can download, print in color, hand write the info, put inside a badge-thingy, and then wear with pride to the event. Official badge is better though because it ensures that everyone will be wearing it. 3) Hold the round table sessions in separate side rooms where there is less crowd noise so it's much easier to hear and participate. 4) EVE Genesis: give play by play commentary (like on EVE TV) for the final match of the card game tourney so that those of us not familiar with the card game can get an understanding of what the players are doing. I think I was like most of the attendees where if you didn't play you couldn't tell what was going on just by watching. I wanted to know what the game mechanics were. I think a lot more excitement can be generated around this. 5) All you can drink Quafe!

I will certainly bring it up, but the nature of our relation with Icelandair is partnership, we are not their boss so that decision would be up to them. I think it would be easier if a lot of Gothenburgers complained though.
The advice I can give you is to go with Copenhagen, even if the distance is almost the same. If you get a ticket to Malm÷ you just have to switch trains, they go every 20 minutes from Malm÷ to Copenhagen via Kastrup Airport, and once you're there you just go off the train, into the airport and check in. While you have to take a train to Stockholm, switch to the arlanda train or bus, find the right terminal and try to check in. It's up to you though. But whatever you do, I would suggest you order the package before 31 May to get the early bird special which is cheaper. And ordering the train ticket to either Malm÷ (unless X2000 goes to Kastrup ofc) or Stockholm as soon as possible as a "Just nu" ticket which should still be cheap since it's so many months away.

Hmm. In modern norwegian "laugardalur" sounds like it mean washing walley, not "hot springs walley". Is washing on iceland intimitely tied to hot sprimgs? (1 bottle of soap, clothes into geysir, then wait, and when the blast comes, all the clean clothes flies trough the air ).
I hope the hot springs hotel or whatever conference center you use, is removing the acoustics of 300-400 EVE players better than nordica, i couldnt hear anyone there.

The Fanfest packages are linked from the Fanfest page, Icelandair doesn't seem to have finished them all though, but we'll make sure they get up after the weekend.

We had 600 there last year, and it seems like we'll get a lot more this year, I doubt you'll have to drink alone.

That's not decided yet, to make sure you get in you might want to order it from the store anyway.
Meh I'll just get a Visa card that works like a debit card to avoid being the victim of really really bad customer service. =|

HEEEEEEELLOOOOOOOOOO FAN FEST! \o/
For flights from Sweden, there is a chance both Iceland Express and SAS has opened their connections by now, last I heard they said April for launch but... The point is that there maybe ways to get cheaper flights outside the package and from other airports than Stockholm and Copenhagen and then find a hotel through the interwebz0rz.
Im currently rolling myself in pineapple juice and free drinks on Hawaii but I'll get on this when I get back.
Anywho... I guess you be seeing me there, one way or the other.
Cheers, Lowa

Being 19 really isn't that much fun it seems,
Was hoping to go this year as well
But going to a fanfest and being sober just isn't a option it seems
To clarify the drinking age is 20? seems a bit of an odd number - Inactive, Now stop starting convo's with me when I'm only online to change skills! |

Edited by: Takahashi Arran on 14/04/2007 22:01:45 ho humm my birthday is on the 9th of November, when i shall be 20. I guess i shall have to go to 2008 instead then because fanfest without beer sounds like i'm missing half the fun :( according to wikipedia the legal drinking age is 20 and "Possession or consumption of alcohol by minors is not an offence but supplying them with alcohol is. However, law allows alcohol possessed by a minor to be confiscated." so if i Pirate other peoples beers there might be hope :D

Cheer up, you 19-18 year olds. It is legal to simply be there and buy a cola too. I didnt drink THAT much last time, 2-3 beers, and id sometime choose to remain completely sober, and just drink cola anyway, while among ppl who do drink beer.

We can't promise any Devs, some of us are required to be there as part of our job, most of the others will probably show up though. I saw loads of Dev shirts around the place last year, I'd imagine the same will happen this year.

Can any other americans say about how much they brought to make it a pleasurable trip? I have never been to that side of the earth () and would like to know about how much I need beyond the flight+hotel package to get a few shirts and goodies for folks back home and such.

Aww legal drinking age is 20?!? Where is the fun in that? Being 19 blows, I can buy alcohol here, but I can't drink there? Is it illegal to buy a bourbon and coke and just a plain coke, then accidently give the acoholic one to the 19 year old :) ?
Did anyone from Aus (particularly Perth) go last year that can give me an idea on costs etc? _____________________________________ Check out my poorly written blog at RantingsofaCarebear.blogspot.com |

I've suggested we make a map with the hotels and the venue and put it up. This will take some time because the guy doing it is very busy right now, but it will come in the near future.
I've also forwarded all ideas, suggestions and complaints to the powers that be at CCP, who will bring it up with Icelandair and other related parties.

The Loftleidir is near Icelands domestic airport, not the international one. It's fairly far out from the city center, and definately further away than a 20 minute walk from the venue. Nordica on the other hand is about a 3 minute walk away from the venue.

At what time does the fanfest open/events start on the 1st Nov? As the standard package from Icelandair wouldnt get me to the hotel much before 18:00, so am wondering if its worthwhile booking to arrive the day before...
Has a schedule for the event been drafted yet? Even it is really is subject to change?

Thursday, 1 November, is mainly the registration day. You come to the venue, register, and then it's just some mingling with the other people. It's a very informal thing, most big events wont start until friday. And if anyone can't make it Thursday because of a late flight, you will still be able to register on Monday.

Hey fellas, I'm kinda worried about the shuttle ride from Keflavik airport to the Reyjavik hotel.... How long is it? The flight is supposed to arrive at Keflavik at 6am, but when does the fanfest open up? When does the shuttle get to the hotel? When we arrive, will the hotel be strict about check in times? I'm coming from Las Vegas, NV, USA, and a day's worth of travel will warrant a washing of one's ass, I'm sure!
Please, I'd like to get a reply from someone who has actually gone before, not from someone who feels like sayin "meh, it should take A, B, and C ammounts of time..."
That's really the only thing that's got me worried... the shuttle ride from Keflavik to Reyjavik seems like it'd take a LONG time!!! Feel free to reply to me via eve-mail!! As a matter of fact, I'd prefer it!

When you arrive at the airport you just go to pick up your bags and then it's a quick exit. Outside the airport there will be a flybus, it costs about 1200 ISK, I would suggest you get some ISK through your bank prior to leaving but you can just use the ATM at the airport. You get on the bus, pay them and tell them what hotel you're going to. The bus goes to the BS- terminal in Reykjavik where you either have to change bus to your hotel or remain on the current bus, depending on what hotel you're going to. But you don't have to worry, they will tell you everything, and you can always ask them anything you want to know, they all speak english. The whole thing generally takes about 50 minutes.
I'm assuming you're arriving at 6 am on Thursday, but even so you should reach the hotel around 0700-0730 or so, you shouldn't have a problem checking in. We haven't decided on a time when the Fanfest opens, but Thursday is mainly registration, I would guess around noon. During and after that there will be some mingling and some events to liven things up, the major things won't start until Friday though, so those of you arriving on friday wont miss anything.
And I've been going to the Fanfest since 2004, even if I fly from Sweden and not the US.
Originally by: Sucram I just saw that the return flight for us swedes takes of at 07:45 on the sunday...
That is the only flight Icelandair has to Sweden on Sundays, if you want to avoid it you can contact Icelandair customer support and see if you can add a day so you wont leave until Monday. Then you can use Sunday for a trip to the Blue Lagoon. Or you can just party all Saturday evening and sleep on the plane.

This is a great map of the venue. Click 'hybrid' for a satellite view. (You need java for some of the advanced functions)

With this Map24 service you can most likely find your hotel if you have the address and plot courses and see distances. Very nice tool for planning ahead ;)

Originally by: CCP Wrangler Also, the Icelandair UK booking page now works as intended. It still says that the Fan Fest events take place on 2nd and 3rd Nov, which isn't true, although the main events are those days 1st Nov will also see some Fanfest activities.
The UK page is indeed working now as I just booked my trip.
Just remember to add a third night or you will miss the last day due to the 8:30 departure in the morning.

Originally by: Leeloo Lamenti I went to the Icelandair to check out the deals (I'm in Canada), and I saw that when leaving from Minneapolis I can get 3 additional nights from 49$ a night. I figure sweet gig - but when I actually try to book it from Minneapolis I can only get the standard package of 3 nights or whatever.
Is this something EVE needs to discuss with Icelandair?
You can see the Minneapolis deal quote here
I'd really like to go, but without this additional nights deal it makes the cost somewhat unfeasabile. Anybody know what the real deal here is?
Thanks.
I think you might need to contact them for additional days, best is to contact their Customer Support first and ask how it works.
Originally by: Bozse Just hoping there will be a package from Gothenburg this year and not only Stockholm
I don't know, but there's always Copenhagen, and I believe there are trains going straight from Gothenburg to Copenhagen via the airport, otherwise you could just switch trains at Malm÷.
Just an update... I emailed IcelandAir tech support and they fixed the Minneapolis bug (it's now 6 nights instead of 3), however you can't pick a hotel. I've since emailed them to let them know and am awaiting reply.

Well, it'll be a bit more than just mingling this year, with some events to make things more fun than just randomly walk around trying to talk to people. I'm sure you can still get drunk though.

I solo booked this one from Manchester UK, now because flights from there are only on a Monday and Friday I decided to make a week out of it, Monday 29th Oct - Monday 5th Nov. Flight was a piffling 180 quid return. Hotel another 241 quid at the cabin for the whole week (don't contact the hotel directly - they wanted about 80 quid a night when I did that) go through an online broker for a decent price.
Booked it THEN told the wife I was going to Iceland for a week.

You're gonna be so cold!
Maybe not survival gear, but definately warm clothes, and preferably windproof ones. It's usually a lot closer to 0C than 44C...

Some updates that will soon make it to the EVE Fanfest 2007 page.
Some package prices were wrong, it's cheaper and not more expensive though, here are the correct ones: Denmark from 2800 DKK Sweden from 3600 SEK Norway from 3175 NOK
All travel packages include airfare and hotel, they do not include round-trip airport/hotel transfers.

What do you consider cold weather clothes? What¦s the temperature there when it is cold?
I already had problems finding a good winter coat in Holland, I bought one here instead. I suggest bringing fleece jackets and think of layering of clothes. Outside it can be windy and freezing but inside it will probably be very hot because heating is cheap here. Go for thick shoes and thick pants, no flimsey fabrics.
Add in additional costs for a cab to drive you around town depending on what hotel you are staying at and how close it is to the fanfest location.
Why is this signature pink?
It is a mystery

For those of you who get a trip with some extra days there's Reykjavik Excursions and Iceland Excursions if you want to go see some of Iceland. There's of course the main shopping street, which is about 15-20 min walk from Nordica. Excursions and buses to the city center can usually be booked at some hotels or online.

Lookin forward to it, bringing ma gf too. She's gonna hate it. But its the one thing I have asked for... ever
My plan of travel to the fanfest however is quite ingenious. I plan to make an entrance!
Right so. I am constructing a pod. Much similar to the pods in eve. With an intent to launch the pod from a gauss particle accelerator cannon. By my calculations this will get me to iceland frm london in 2.8 minutes. The pod has a new design which will shell the body against the gravitational forces.
To simplify
podRearth2 = acannonRe-m(re-m)2 ==> gRearth2 = [4*Pi2re-m/Tpod2] (re-m)2 gRearth2 = [4*Pi2/Tpod2] (60Rearth)3 ==> T2 = [4*Pi2/g](60)3Rearth ==> T = sqrt[4*Pi2/(10 m/s2)] (60)3(6.4 x 106 m)] = 2.34 x 106 s (1 day/86400 s) / ac-2/2*22 T = 2.80minutes
After evaluating millions of pieces of data in the blink of an eye, the Gamble-Tron 2000 says this will most probably work.
See you there!

My breeding program is complete. I have a 10" kangaroo with largish pouch at a mature enough stage to accomodate an aussi in such extreme conditions.
But... *bites pinky finger*...the drill rig which will deliver my kangaroo pod to Iceland is a week behind schedule. I will have to push the design paramaters beyond normal tolerances to meet the November deadline. Expect seismic disturbances throughout Asia.

Marketing has informed me that "the sales are going tremendously well". There's still a lot of months left to book your package and Fanfest pass, but if you want to get the 'early bird special' which is a lower package price, you should order before May 31!

Are the Icelandair packages subject to early-bird special as well, or at least likely to be of limited availability?
As I am coming from New Zealand, I am planning a few weeks holiday around europe before the fanfest to make the most of the extraordinary cost getting over there. If the packages are likely to be quite limited, I will need to do a bit more planning to know which country Ill be flying from.

The Icelandair packages have 'early bird special' price until 31 May, or until they're sold out. I don't think it's possible to say if they will sell out before 31 May or not, I could talk to marketing and see if they can get something from Icelandair, but even if we can it would only be an educated guess at best. I would suggest that you plan your trip as soon as you can anyway.
Copenhagen is a nice city to visit, you could consider making a stop there during your trip to Europe and take the Danish Icelandair package.

Depends on where you go, can get as low as 350 ISK up to about 600-700 ISK and anywhere in between. 350 ISK is not that common though.
I prefer this currency converter myself, it's not 100% accurate because the exchange rates and bank fees changes, but it gives you an idea.

Originally by: CCP Wrangler It is yet again coming close to that time of the year when the fabulous, wonderful and amazing people of EVE gather in the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, for 3 days of partying, beer, lectures, beer, roundtables, beer and much, much more! And beer of course.
EVE Fanfest 2007 will be held November 1st to 3rd this year, so order your flight and hotel package, get your Fanfest pass, pack your bags and then just sit and wait for about 8 months... Maybe you don't need to pack just yet, but make sure you order the package to catch the "early bird special" provided by Icelandair. Please note that you will need to purchase the Fanfest pass separately from the flight and hotel package.
This year will be bigger than before, better than before and with more Devs (and beer) than before! Head over to the EVE Fanfest 2007 page and read all there is to know about it!
Make sure you check out the new EVE Fanfest 2007 FAQ!
Well. Again I have bought the FanFest ticket. I will order hotel room and airticket later in the coming week on payday :) I have also decided to stay a few days longer this year. SO if anyone wants to team up for some fun, Im all up for it!
I hope I will be just as welcome this year as last! And ofcource, I am very much looking forward to see you all there!
So Beware! The consumer of all bree is again heading towards Iceland!!

Seriously. Frekkin A. More Kiwi's the better. It is absolutly fantastic.
As for getting flights from NZ, First time caytlyn and I used Malyasian Airlines, they where ok. Last year we went Thain airline (business class) and stopped in Bangkok for a fews days on teh way home ... which was really really worth it.
Hope to see you there.

Edited by: Morhon on 13/05/2007 00:11:19 A word of warning.... Iceland is VERY VERY expensive for those in the UK. I'm not trying to put you off but if you want to do anything other than just the fan fest take lots and lots of cash. ú7 per pint ú36 for a main meal (just the main course) is the norm at hotels. Unless you are rich or live with your parents I doubt anything I say will make you understand how much it costs out there. A bobble hat worked out at ú80 in the gift shop at Geyser
I managed to save a fair ammount last year by booking the exact same trip with expedia.co.uk so it might be worth looking into; however, I would try to get the hotel the fest is at, even if it costs alot more. Only Icelandair and a similarly named cheap airline fly to iceland I think.
Anyways have fun and I may see you there... with alot more úúú this time lol.
btw... It's much less cold than you might expect, -7c was as low as I remeber it going last year (and that was at night).

There where a number of femail attendee's last year (more than in 2005) and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Though I did not a couple of 'drag-a-longs', these are the poor female partners of players that get dragged along even when they do not play the game, but they still seemed to have fun.

--------------------------------------- Last year was a great time and anyone even considering the trip should definitely go. It was a ton of fun and I just bought my ticket for this year.
Here are some of my recommendations to CCP to make it even better this year: 1) PvP Tournament: give play-by-play commentary over a broadcasting system (like on EVE TV) to generate excitement and let the crowd know who's who and what's going on. This can be a lot more exciting than last year. It needs an active Host person. 2) Give out official laminated name-with-corporation neck badges to each player like at other fan fests. It helps you identify your friends/enemies and encourages socialization. Or at the very least, post a cool looking template on the website that users can download, print in color, hand write the info, put inside a badge-thingy, and then wear with pride to the event. Official badge is better though because it ensures that everyone will be wearing it. 3) Hold the round table sessions in separate side rooms where there is less crowd noise so it's much easier to hear and participate. 4) EVE Genesis: give play by play commentary (like on EVE TV) for the final match of the card game tourney so that those of us not familiar with the card game can get an understanding of what the players are doing. I think I was like most of the attendees where if you didn't play you couldn't tell what was going on just by watching. I wanted to know what the game mechanics were. I think a lot more excitement can be generated around this. 5) All you can drink Quafe! ---------------------------------------

Well, the good thing is that you'll be surrounded by loads of EVE players, so you should be able to find people to talk to. After all, you all have one thing in common.

We will most likely continue having the EVE Fanfest in Iceland, but there are a few gatherings every year in the UK that you can attend, check the Player Gatherings and Events forum for more info.

I got the same flying home the first Fanfest, there's just no point in going to bed, just stay up and sleep on the plane. I also made sure I left a day later and it wasn't a morning flight the year after that.

Originally by: Gustovness Hey fellas, I'm kinda worried about the shuttle ride from Keflavik airport to the Reyjavik hotel.... How long is it? The flight is supposed to arrive at Keflavik at 6am, but when does the fanfest open up? When does the shuttle get to the hotel? When we arrive, will the hotel be strict about check in times? I'm coming from Las Vegas, NV, USA, and a day's worth of travel will warrant a washing of one's ass, I'm sure!
Please, I'd like to get a reply from someone who has actually gone before, not from someone who feels like sayin "meh, it should take A, B, and C ammounts of time..."
That's really the only thing that's got me worried... the shuttle ride from Keflavik to Reyjavik seems like it'd take a LONG time!!! Feel free to reply to me via eve-mail!! As a matter of fact, I'd prefer it!
When you arrive at the airport you just go to pick up your bags and then it's a quick exit. Outside the airport there will be a flybus, it costs about 1200 ISK, I would suggest you get some ISK through your bank prior to leaving but you can just use the ATM at the airport. You get on the bus, pay them and tell them what hotel you're going to. The bus goes to the BS- terminal in Reykjavik where you either have to change bus to your hotel or remain on the current bus, depending on what hotel you're going to. But you don't have to worry, they will tell you everything, and you can always ask them anything you want to know, they all speak english. The whole thing generally takes about 50 minutes.
I thought transport between the airport and hotel was included? ________________________________________________ Captain Anderi Bourdieu - Hadean Drive Yards

Its not, but dont worry. Its dead easy to get into the city and the hotel! Just be sure you have 1200 isk at hand when landing in Reykjavik for the Flybus! its very easy to spot them. They line up outside the airport arrival terminal. You will be very fine! Just ask the driver if he can take you to the hotel of your choise! They usually do! :)

Do you realy think that it is a smart move to do a fanfest this year after everything what happened?
Maybe 2 or even more of your GM's might get killed by an lynchmob this year.

Mainly because Iceland is a small island and they have to import everything.

Oveur and Nozh was down in Copenhagen last weekend, and we went into some expensive clothes type store with brand clothes only. I thought it was way too expensive and that you could get that stuff cheaper somewhere else anyway. They told me that it was still about half price compared to Iceland. I'm never moving there, I'm way too cheap for that...

When you can get a Tequila shot for 50 krona in Europe compared to 500 krona here in Iceland, then you just know something is wrong.

For this years FanFest "lootbag" or "FanFest Bag" I reccomend the following:
1. EVE-O Postcard = 5 dollar 2. EVE-O Poster = 10 dollar 3. EVE-O Access tag = 50 dollar 4. EVE-O Large Name sign to have around the neck, for easier recognition at the FanFest = Priceless
TeH Idea!
Well, Nametag or not. THIS WILL BE FUN!!!

Seriously. Frekkin A. More Kiwi's the better. It is absolutly fantastic.
As for getting flights from NZ, First time caytlyn and I used Malyasian Airlines, they where ok. Last year we went Thain airline (business class) and stopped in Bangkok for a fews days on teh way home ... which was really really worth it.
Hope to see you there.
Unfortunately I am going a bit on the cheap, so it will be cattle-class for me. The bookings for the Icelandair package are done for myself and a friend. Should be pretty awesome. Staying the extra day to hopefully see some sights around Reykjavik - already had someone suggest I take some landrover tour to a local dormant(dead?) volcano. I'll have to do some searching and see what touristy things Iceland have to offer.
Will be at least 4 of us from NZ there then :-)
Now its just the long wait until the event. Sigh.

Are you saying we are not grown up people?
At last years FanFest I was in ASCN, which where at War with BoB. But guess what, I had lot of nice chats with people from - yes exactly - Band of Brothers.
The fanfest is all about meeting people - friend or foe - over a cold beer. Because in front of the allmighty god CCP, we are all equal!
FanFest is a social gathering! Why not have fun for a while!??

I don't think more destinations will be added this year at least. You can check www.icelandair.ca to put together flight and hotel yourself, or use the closest US package.

Flight was a piffling 180 quid return. Hotel another 241 quid at the cabin for the whole week (don't contact the hotel directly - they wanted about 80 quid a night when I did that) go through an online broker for a decent price.
Booked it THEN told the wife I was going to Iceland for a week.
Remember kids - forgiveness is much easier to earn than permission.
I have a theoretical pass this year, as she's off to NY with her sis around the same time. Waiting for the right time to slip it into conversation.

I just wanted to confirm that, yes it is possible to see me at the FanFest 2007. Just today i booked my flight and hotel. last night i got my event pass.
I do how ever have a question for the locals or CCP staff to answer. My hotel is Radisson SAS 1919, it is supposed to be in the centre. Is it within walking distance to event location or do i need my shuttle to get there?
Thank you kindly and see you all there.

I'd guess around 15 min walk. Iceland in November can be a bit cold though so warm clothes would be good if you plan to walk.

And what you call cold is warm to me, as i am a from Finland :D You have that "Golf" thing to keep you fairly warm, we don't. I will be in there from 29th to 5th, so i plan to do some excursions outside Reykavik.
Anyways to other folks from Finland. Go to www.icelandair.fi and check their flight and hotel packages. It's not as cheap as "Early bird" deal some lucky have in their countries. But it's quite good deal anyways.

You should probably compare the cost (and time?) of going to Sweden for the Fanfest package to the cost of taking a non Fanfest package from Finland. I haven't so I don't know which one would be cheaper, but if someone does you're welcome to post it here.

Ok here goes. Early bird package(http://www.icelandair.se) from Stockholm to FanFest 2007 is 393 euro. Return flight from Helsinki to Stokholm(http://www.blue1.fi) is 59 euro or 19 euro if you take the late night flight. Since i can't read Swedish info on hotel type in early bird package is a mystery to me. Getting from Finland to FanFest 2007 is a LOT cheaper using Stokholm route and getting an Early bird package, than using direct flight from Helsinki to Reykjavik as i did. I chose to stay longer in Iceland and took a good hotel, so that up's my costs.
So i paid way too much for my trip, but hey it's EVE Online FastFest 2007 :)
PS. I can get my FanFest pass from event location by showing my email/code? PSS. I want to be there now.

There will be registration at the Fanfest location, so just bring your email code and you'll get your access pass and such.
I can understand that, we have a lot of interesting things planned.

Hmm... My 22nd birthday is shortly at that, and I should have a job and a place and money by then, so I might see about coming... Can't be any more degrading than going to the Games Workshop Games Day and Golden Demon when I was younger... Plus this way I can get drunk with devs!
Do the devs get drunk with the players at this thing, or is it like going to see a movie premier where all the 'little people' sit at the back with all the filmstars at the front who promptly walk off at the end so as not to bee seen with aforementioned 'little people'?
I'd quite like to have a few pints with Ginger in particular, I think he's on to something with his 'Ginger Breeding Program' (I myself am a brown-haired blonde-highlighted stylish person) that I'd like to discuss... What about 'back-stage' passes and so on?
Basically, what I'm trying to say is if I come, can I go to the pub with CCP and have a pint and a chat? Or am I stuck with the rest of the players?

I strongly doubt you will see the Devs raving on the tables or crawling under the chairs on the fanfest, but besides that they will all be mingling with the players at the party, enjoying their beer! At least thats the way it was last year. So you will be able to speak with them. Just understand theres a lot of players there, and they all wants to have a word with them, so dont be suprised if you cant keep them for yourself!
It will be fun!

Taking your laptop downtown and having coffee is one of the hippest things to do in Reykjavik. Most places downtown have wireless Internet. But will your wife be so busy that she can¦t take a few days off and just walk around Reykjavik enjoying new sights, go to the spa etc?

There's also some issue with having two 11's, but we'll sort it out. The second 11 is actually 12.

Having looked carefully at the map and compared it to an number of existing maps it is impossible to know where the low-sec and lawless 0.0 areas are. Where will we get Concordokened for podding haulers? We need to know where there are Medical Facilities (rumors are the damsel was seen near Hotel Loftleidir).
Should we expect BOB and GOONS to have strategic areas bubbled? Will pirates be camping around Laugavegur preying on carebears? Can we expect lag to be a factor in the number of people in Laugardalslaug; will their be queues to enter? Have measures been taken to prevent the Black Screen of Death as fans exit their hotels?
Hope the FanFest Rocks!

Who needs the fanfest when the server has serious disconnection problems. Plenty of users are displaying them in the tecnical forum but noone seems to care. We get disconnected every 5 minutes
CONNECTION LOST it says all the time. I pay for this game and i can't play it and it's your fault.
Fix this irritating problem with the disconnections first and THEN we will have time for celebrations.
I am sorry for this but perhaps if i throw the problem in your face perhaps then you may notice it.

Laugavegur is more of high sec with lots of people, but I wouldn't recommend going too far on the sidestreets, I almost got attacked there myself a few years ago (though my WCS worked and I quickly got back to the main street) but I'd say that qualifies as low sec. As for medical facilities, we did put a pharmacy on the map.
Originally by: Chribba Nice map... I think you should include Nordica on it as well as many pilots will dock there as well.
I was thinking that too, for everyone who doesn't know, Pizza Hut is in the same building as the Nordica.
We'll get some changes to the map done in the near future.

Yup - Get Nordica added please (and yes Pizza Hut is at the corner of the same building that is Nordica)
Originally by: CCP Wrangler I forwarded the whole nametag idea, and it was well recieved. There are no decisions on it yet, but there's a good chance we might get some form of nametags.
Good to hear that this most likely(?) will happen. I hate it when at 2am (and later), I have to ask to get a name spelled for the 4th time...
Definatly a must.
A very cool approach would be for ppl to be able to indicate on an online form here, if they want corp and/or alliance added as well (same as with the forums - Actually.. might even simply copy that setting...)

At last years FanFest I was in ASCN, which where at War with BoB. But guess what, I had lot of nice chats with people from - yes exactly - Band of Brothers.
The fanfest is all about meeting people - friend or foe - over a cold beer. Because in front of the allmighty god CCP, we are all equal!
FanFest is a social gathering! Why not have fun for a while!??
Why are you shutting people down? I expect there will be some tense questions from some people this year - which is expected all considering - and I look forward to hearing official responses to many questions from the floor.
I happen to agree that alliance/corp affiliations are not nessisary on a name tag - some people have multiple characters in a variety of corps/alliances. . .
In anycase, its going to be a fun little trip.

If there are nametags I don't know if they'll include corporation or alliances, although we do have something planned for them as well, but if it does it won't be mandatory.

I too expect to hear a little what CCP plans to do to avoid such things in the future. But that does not change the case: What happend where not CCP accepted. And CCP as a company does not promote such actions.
Also, by removing the Alliance from the "ID card" because just one failed to live up to the standards most of us requires from the playerbase as CCP, is just to declare you have failed. What happend happend once. It was a one-time case. And should be treated as such! To punish CCP indefinitely for it, plus the unknowlingly Alliance and corporation is to be almost as bas as the cheater!
There will be questions. I have no problem with that. I am sure CCP have no problems with that. But everyone should also know when they are taking the case a little to far! And now 4-5 months later its time to move on and forget. Letting old grudges tear on you for this long is not good. Not for you. not for the playerbase and not for CCP. Noone will win on that.
FanFest is also supposed to be a player gathering! A friendly meeting in a friendly atmosphere, where friends or foes INGAME can meet over a beer! I cant hardly call that shutting people down as you say. But it does not change the matter: People need to grow up or at least pretend to be mature enough to see when the case is closed
I will enjoy my beers with everyone on the FanFest this year. Even T20 if he is there. Because for me the case is closed.
Now, lets debate something more fun instead! The FanFest itself! I have seen enough threads on this topic! Dont let us make another one!

And back to the Fanfest discussion... Is there any possebility that the majority of the event can be free from smoking? I know there are people atending that have astma or similar, myself included, that suffered from the dense smog that was in the common area of last years Fanfest... Was very similar to the fog of war you find in strategy games actually... It cant be too hard to arrange a smoking area where the ones who smoke can go to when they feel like a smoke...
I allso love the nametag idea and hope that it becomes a reallity... Maybe have the alliance logo on them or simillar...

Since June 1st, smoking indoors in public places are prohibited by law, such as hotels, bars, restaurants and cafTs. So the fan-fest should be smoke-free.
Iceland must be a fun place...

Smoking wasn't allowed at the Fanfest last year either, only in the hotel bar just outside. Unfortunately people either didn't know about it or ignored it and smoked there anyway. We'll make sure everyone knows not to smoke inside this year.

Actually, I remember that the no-smoking signs on the tables inside were replaced by ashtrays in the late afternoon or evening. Making sure that that doesn't happen will help a lot I guess.
And yes, I am a heavy smoker myself. As long as there is a spot where you can smoke without having to stand in the rain I'm happy ---- Weeks of programming can save you hours of planning. Jumpplanner v2.0 - Routeplanner for all jumpcapable ships! |

So do I, considering I smoke...
But I do understand that a lot of people might not want to inhale our smoke just because they're at the Fanfest.

The trip to and from the Blue Lagoon, including entrance fee, is about Ç42. Hotel Cabin is about 3 blocks away from Laugavegur, so we're talking just a few minutes walk. I don't know exactly how many hours, but it's not much, some sun around the day, mornings and afternoons are probably dark. I don't think you need to worry about crimes around there, since it's a weekend people will probably be drinking fn places around that area though. We do not give tours of the CCP Office and therefore the location is not put on our map.

All the girls at CCP have had power meetings at the coffee machine and set up a plan of action to get some fun stuff to happen at Fanfest for the women attending. Some of you may think no women will be at a game meet up but we expect to see a lot more of us this year. For one, all the female devs are attending. With CCP recruiting massively, we gained a lot of female devs in the last year.
Plans are contingent upon how many women EVE players are attending, so be sure to indicate in your registration that youÆre female. The more the merrier and the more activities we can plan in advance. If you know a few girls who play EVE, let them know that there will be a lot of other women at Fanfest and they will be made welcome by everyone, especially by all the ladies of CCP.
IÆll keep this thread updated and answer any questions, but itÆs too early to spoil or hint at what we are planning, but take my word for it, itÆs going to be fun. .

You try this and you don't fool Eris ?? ;)
Is there a possibilty that we have some contact to organize a trip to the blue lagoon It's not easy when your far away to do that I think that on thursday (for early arrival) or Sunday (to clean head) some people want to go there. I don't ask you to organize that but contact could help a lot

Getting a trip to the blue lagoon is really easy, you can just talk to the reception staff at the hotel.

Any chance to sign up to the round table discussions before FanFest starts? The reason is that we will arrive in the evening the first day and it would suck if all seats already are taken then.
We're sorry, something happened.

I don't think we'll have some online signup for the roundtables. It's hard to make any definite plans, but hopefully we can wait with the roundtable signup until we open on Friday, giving everyone an equal chance to sign up.

Just remember, most of the EVE FF participants wards their ale most posessively!
I would also like to add, even if its really needless, and that is "watch your back jack", because Oveur will most likely "confiscate" your "loot" as a "representative" for the concord at the FF

I don't understand that either, but it's the same building as Pizza Hut, and I'll make sure we put Nordica there next time the map is updated.

So maybe I missed it but how does the fanfest pvp tournament work? Do you provide your own ships and character? Is it a special character created at the fanfest? Is it on the test server? How does it work?

You sign up in advance and provide your char ... they turn it into a super char on the test server so you can use everything in the tourney. --------------------------------------------------

I am considering going, however my wife wanted to know what there might be to do up there (While I'm with you guys)for her and the kids (5 and 6 yrs old) if they wanted to go to Iceland with me...
Is there a an Eve Widows Club?? Threv
That's life. Some people run X accounts. With a better PC. And a faster GFX card. And on a faster network connection. While their wife brings them beer. From the fridge on their yacht.

There's lots to do, we have of course Laugavegur, Reykjaviks main shopping street and Reykjavik Excursions offer a lot of great trips, anything from the Blue Lagoon to sightseeing tours of Reykjavik to sights around Iceland. I would simply recommend that you google for more information about Iceland, and I'm sure you'll find them something nice to do.

And hi everyone, IÆm Darth Beta and I just wanted to tell you guys that in July we had already sold more tickets to Fanfest 2007 than for the whole Fanfest 2006 woot, woot! It will clearly be our best Fanfest so far. This year IÆll be organizing the Fanfest along with Duckling and Hectrix and though I havenÆt been posting a lot about Fanfest until now, IÆve kept a close eye on this thread and I plan on posting a lot more in the future. A few of you might have met me and Duckling already at last yearÆs Fanfest, since we were managing that one as well. WeÆre looking forward to seeing yÆall!

HI Darth Beta! Cool name btw!
What I am a little worried about (not much though!) is the fanfest getting too large. It might loose some of the intimacy we had at earlier years fanfest, but I guess this is the price we have to pay, when the fanfest is as popular as it is! Which I can definitely understand, because last years fanfest where simply SUPERB!
Just a small whine from me? Dont over-comercialze it please! I have seen pictures from some other fanfests arranged by like SOE. And to be honest, it looks....not good if you understand what I mean. But I have all faith in you guys!
Anyway, I am -REALLY- looking forward being there this year too!

I don't think you need to worry about that, we're improving the Fanfest of course, making it bigger and better, not just bigger, but you'll still have Devs walking around, or crawling in some cases, you can talk to.

I hope so, but I don't really know. We will be announcing more about the Fanfest as we get closer to November, so keep an eye on the forums and the news.

Hey, sorry ahead of time for this question if it's inappropriate, but I figured many players were buying these for the Fanfest but...
... any updates on when Gallente/Caldari shirts will be restocked in medium? Or restocked period for that matter Was hoping to get my hands on a couple before school started, to avoid complicated shipping
Tried sending a question through the EVE store (a few times) but haven't gotten a response for a month. Not even a generic "soon" response hehe

Nah. most likely it will be the one lying under the table, after have tried to claim Oveurs championahip belt in the "heavyweight drinking championship" from Fanfest 2006, by drinking him under the table. For some reason the devs love their ale
Hmm....FanFest Heavyweight drinking championship... NOW THAT seems to be a worthy competition!

Being a first time Fanfair attendee, I would not mind hints, suggestions or even advice. I am planning to come the weekend before the FF and see some of Iceland. I only lack two things; a place to stay that is not too expensive and things to do while waiting for the fair to start. (Drinking is for after the FF starts)
BTW I am a WOMEN IN EVE - so mark me on your list of women attending
So if you who live, work and play in Iceland all year long would help me with some good meaningful information to make this long awaited trip a great one I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Someone was wondering what Duckling looks like, you can see a pic of the two of us here. Perhaps someone remembers us from last year ? And nahhh, I don't think we are a match to Oveur regarding bree drinking, I wish we were but I don't think we would stand a chance. He's called "The Bionic Liver" for a reason .

You should be able to find a hotel that suits you through this website, the last entry in the EVE Fanfest 7007 FAQ should give you an idea of what you could do in Reykjavik and Iceland.

Hey Duckling I remember a little less than a month ago, you mentioned that the shirts would be restocked soon - I've still been checking daily and nothing any new news? I figured the store manager would be back from vacation by now, I was just a little curious on any updates. Would love to get my Caldari shirt before school but if I have to wait, I'll wait hehe.
Thanks for responding before, hope I can get some new info again too

Edited by: XD Andy on 30/08/2007 17:04:54 Question about the "Sisters of Eve" package, and the "Fanfest" itself in part.
I've finally persuaded my wife that Iceland is a really cool place to visit, and that October/November is definately one of the cooler times to go. Infact, we'll be coming the weekend before so we can do some tourist stuff before fanfest starts, so if there are any pre-fanfest gatherings going on, would love to meet people in advance.
We will be bringing our 6 month old (will be 8 month old) noob along for the trip, but unfortunately he's a little young to go out exploring on his own yet, so will need to tag along with one of us.
Are either of these events (or portions of them) amenable to bringing infants? Ideally my wife wants to do Sisters of Eve thing, but would need to know what she can an can't bring our son along to, and for those things she can't, would I be able to take him with me to fanfest?
Won't necessarily be using a push-chair, as we got a pod-carrier as well.
Ideally need to know ASAP as want to book the tickets before they run out !!!
Thanks
Andy

I will have to ask the powers that be about that, but it will probably be possible, I can't promise anything though. I should get an answer next week.

I will try to get some definite answers for you on this tomorrow. I don't think we would need a Fanfest pass for your son, but you should know that it can get a bit loud at times and that might not be good for him. I doubt it would be much of a problem, since you can always find some calm place though.
I don't think your wife can bring him on the jeep tour, maybe the swimming thing, but it's an outdoors facility in november so it might be a bit cold for him. I don't know the exact times for the sisters events, but as I understand them they're mainly going to take place during the day, the sister pass gives your wife access to the Fanfest after 18.00, so worrst case you can probably miss a bit of Fanfest. I'm not entirely sure on this though but I'll try to get better answers tomorrow.

Originally by: CCP Wrangler I will try to get some definite answers for you on this tomorrow. I don't think we would need a Fanfest pass for your son, but you should know that it can get a bit loud at times and that might not be good for him. I doubt it would be much of a problem, since you can always find some calm place though.
I don't think your wife can bring him on the jeep tour, maybe the swimming thing, but it's an outdoors facility in november so it might be a bit cold for him. I don't know the exact times for the sisters events, but as I understand them they're mainly going to take place during the day, the sister pass gives your wife access to the Fanfest after 18.00, so worrst case you can probably miss a bit of Fanfest. I'm not entirely sure on this though but I'll try to get better answers tomorrow.
Many thanks Wrangler. Will keep an eye on the thread for updates. Assuming it is OK for him to hitch a lift with me while my wife is doing out-doors type stuff, we are reliably told that he's cute as hell, so should go down a storm with the ladies attending the fenfest (if the precedent here is anything to go by). However I am acutely aware of how disruptive an 8 month old can be, so rest assured we don't intend to involve him where it may impact on the participation and enjoyment of others.
Besides, if I remember the brochure correctly, the Nordica has a baby-sitting service available. Just hope it's cheap, and runs late

Originally by: Lynndia Being a first time Fanfair attendee, I would not mind hints, suggestions or even advice. I am planning to come the weekend before the FF and see some of Iceland. I only lack two things; a place to stay that is not too expensive and things to do while waiting for the fair to start. (Drinking is for after the FF starts)
BTW I am a WOMEN IN EVE - so mark me on your list of women attending
So if you who live, work and play in Iceland all year long would help me with some good meaningful information to make this long awaited trip a great one I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
Contact me ingame via eve-mail and I'll send you some useful links and tips :) --------------------------------------------------

Well, some auctions seems to be coming up at this years fanfest, which might caught the interests of the female attendants. Ofcource there aint no such things as females on the intarnet, but according to Eris Discordia, there will be at the fanfest, so I guess thats why the girlies are getting special "treatment"
(This is a J/K and the linked thread Its a J/K thread too, by the way! Well worth reading ALL the posts!!!! )

Originally by: CCP Eris Discordia All the girls at CCP have had power meetings at the coffee machine and set up a plan of action to get some fun stuff to happen at Fanfest for the women attending. Some of you may think no women will be at a game meet up but we expect to see a lot more of us this year. For one, all the female devs are attending. With CCP recruiting massively, we gained a lot of female devs in the last year.
Plans are contingent upon how many women EVE players are attending, so be sure to indicate in your registration that youÆre female. The more the merrier and the more activities we can plan in advance. If you know a few girls who play EVE, let them know that there will be a lot of other women at Fanfest and they will be made welcome by everyone, especially by all the ladies of CCP.
IÆll keep this thread updated and answer any questions, but itÆs too early to spoil or hint at what we are planning, but take my word for it, itÆs going to be fun. .
lol Eris.... count on one more female :) Can't wait to get there! ______________________________________________

If so, what will a pint be likely to cost at the Fanfest, so I know whether to bring my bank manager with me, or not?

XD Andy, regarding the spouse program. I would not recommend it for toddlers since the Blue Lagoon and the swimming pool are too cold for children at that age. Regarding the jeep tour, theoratically she could bring the child with her but I don't recommend it since there is a stop by a cave for an hour and she could not take the child with her there. I would recommend that she buys a ticket to the Fanfest so she can mingle with people there, there will not be an issue to bring the child with her to the Fanfest area. I can recommend other nice geothermic baths that are perfect for toddlers while you are here in Iceland, they are indoors and are heated extra during the weekends for their youngest visitors.
For the jeep tour, we don't recommend it for children under the age of 6. I see that I have to think of a daycare for next Fanfest. It's great to see how many are interested to bring their families along.

Thank you.
If you can drive a car you can rent one for a fairly good price, around 4000 isk. With it you can drive anywhere to do some sightseeing, otherwise there is www.re.is Go to winter and there is a list of trips near reykjavik to do around wintertime.
If you plan to relax there are plenty of nice places in reykjavik to have a coffee, something to eat and relax.
www.kringlan.is is the website for the shoppingmall if you¦d rather go shopping. The mainstreet Laugevegur is not bad either
Public transport is cheap and a way to do a circle around reykjavik and see a bit more of reykjavik without driving and staying warm.

Still in denial that girls actually play EVE?
Seriously.....
/me plans to kick Wrangler when she sees him at fanfest.... ^^ *grin*
btw.... Eris.... um er.... I'm a fanfest noob.... but I didn't see a place to put that I was female on my purchase of the access ticket. Or for that matter my character name... *looks sheepish and a bit lost* ______________________________________________

D'oh
we already went ahead and bought a Sister's ticket for my wife. Didn't want to wait any longer incase they ran out.
Anyway, she's got her mind set on that now. Guess we'll sort out the logistics once we get out there and see what happens.
Thanks anyway, and yes ... if you can point us in the direction of those geothermic baths you mentioned, that would be great.
Daycare *would* be a fantastic idea from our purely selfish point of view, but how many families will be going together realistically. Are there perhaps any private companies in Iceland that offer child minding or baby sitting services that you would happen to know of?
Thanks again.

I would suggest that you call the hotel where you're staying and ask if they can either provide babysitting service or recommend someone who does, and get details from this service such as what age they accept, price, open hours etc.

Today I was talking to some corp mates of mine which im going to the Fanfest with, and all of a sudden they said, wtf omfg you have to be atleast 18 to attend the fanfest. So the point now is I'm f$%^&*ed My parents bought the ticket and a 7 day trip to Reykjavik for my Birthday(can't remember the hotel). At this stage it was too late to withdraw the vacation and get our money back.
What Now? I am 17 years old from the date of 15th of juli. Is there an exception to be made? Is it true that last years kids where alowed to go? Can I be a kid and come together with my godfater? Or does this mean i couldv' burned my Euro's to get rid of them faster?
ps: I am not alowed to drink beer due to a rare kidney deseace. I feel like a Brazillian now, ISK PLIX.

I'm really sorry to hear this. The problem is that the 18 year age limit is due to Icelandic law, since we serve alcohol you have to be 18 to enter the Fanfest area. There is nothing we can do about this I'm afraid.
We will look into the exact details of Icelandic law tomorrow and see if it would be possible for you to enter the Fanfest area with a legal guardian or similar.

The Fanfest Access Pass for Sisters of EVE Access Pass Exchange Program
Since some of you may have purchased a Fanfest Access Pass before Sisters of EVE was announced you may wish to exchange the Fanfest Access Pass for a Sisters of EVE Access Pass, and now that is possible!
All you need to do is to email me your name, the name of your spouse and the order number and we will take care of it. My email is [email protected].
Please keep in mind that the one Sisters of EVE Access Pass per EVE Fanfest Access Pass rule still applies, you cannot purchase one EVE Fanfest Access Pass and more than one Sisters of EVE Access Pass.

Hmm. It was implied in a recent conversation. When I checked the Eve-Store, I couldn't find the tickets. I probably missed it due to the fact I had presumed them not to be there in the first place. Thanks Wrangler. :) Buy you a beer if I end up going. ^_^ ----------------------

However due to real life issues I am now unable to attend. On a plus note however a friend is going and is willing to take my tickets.
Do I need to transfer them over to his name? Or is it ok just to give him the code I was issued when I bought the tickets and he can pick them up on the day?

I have my ticket and I want to book the Icelandair package from London. However, the only option is to travel on the Thursday morning (after fanfest starts) and return on the saturday evening (while the drunken antics are still going on). What gives? I want to go Wednesday - Sunday, but the only option is book it all separately and pay much more in the process. Can someone take a look at this.

I believe the flight was sold out, but I've actually already sent an email about this. You have to understand that this is more a partnership with Icelandair than us telling them what to do, so we can't guarantee anything. But hopefully something will be added, though maybe it would mean extra days in Iceland or something.
The only other suggestion I really have would be to book a Fanfest package from maybe Copenhagen or something and then just fly over there? It means extra flight time of course, going through check in and security an extra time etc. but the good thing about London is that they tend to have really cheap flights to some places, so if we can't get anything for the UK package you should compare prices.
Something that may be even easier would be to select a flight from Manchester, I believe they have packages left, even though it might require a train ride.

argh! what is it about banks and their inability to actually be useful.
Are Euro's acceptable in Iceland? "Dont know" Would there be a conversion fee were I getting another currency converted? "Dont know" If I had travelers cheques in Euros, could they be cashed for Krona? "Dont know" Will *your* travelers cheques be cashable in Iceland? "Dont know" Would it be sensible to get some Krona in cash before I leave? "Dont know" Can you give me cash in Krona? "Probably not"
I should probably just email Iceland Air. THey must know what services are available at the airport... but with so much frustration I had to ***** somewhere :)
Anyhow, looking forward to the trip - I'm sure that with the modern marvels of internet banking, all will be fine. Any other New Zealanders who might be going (I saw there was one posting earlier), let me know if there are any smart things I can do to minimise my fee's and conversions.
Why cant overseas travel be stress-free?

The currency is ISK, and there are ATM's at the airport, I know they take visa and mastercard at least. I'm not sure if they take euros though, some places might but if you're taking euro I suggest you exchange it at a bank or something.

aah thanks for the replies. Google already answered all my questions for me - i was really just complaining that the banks 'foreign currency person' seemed unable to be helpful to me (indeed they didnt even know what currency was used in Iceland - I had to tell them).
But its all good - the main thing was whether Euro could be exchanged at the airport for Krona. The bank recommended I get my travelers cheques in pounds or USD, but that incurs currency conversion fees for all the times I am in Europe!
It seems credit card is a good option with low fees for use overseas, so I might rely heavily on it for the Iceland portion of my holiday. Luckily I got the early-bird package and my flights/accomodation are already paid for :)

Unless you're planning on staying for a long time in Europe I don't think travelers cheques are worth it, but since you seem to plan on a longer vacation it might be for you. As I understand it they're mainly good because they're safer than cash. But I couldn't really give you any advice since the first and last time I used those were in 96.
There is at least one ATM at Iceland Airport and two bank locations of some sort though I'm not sure if the banks are outside the secure area (one ATM is though), there's a bank office in the Nordica building with an ATM, so getting cash in Iceland shouldn't be any problems if you have visa or mastercard at least.

I think your Sisters of Eve program is a great idea, one more games should consider to avoid the hated "wife-aggro" that occurs in gaming homes now and then. lol
I do have a question about it. I sometimes play Eve but most often don't; whereas my hubby usually has his account going on along with another monthly game.
Could I be a member of Sisters of Eve as well as a sometimes player? Or do you have to be one or the other. I would not give my account or my two characters up even though I don't play them that often.

Also - HELP! How do I put my character portrait in my Avatar and post a Signature? Thanks
Sisters of EVE is basically only a Fanfest thing, where you take a jeep tour and go to a swimming facility during the day while your significant other goes to the Fanfest. The Sisters pass gives you access to the Fanfest after 18.00 though, so you can attend it in the evenings.
Your portrait updates automatically after a while, and if you press settings in the left hand menu you'll be able to put something in your signature.

What can we expect in the form of "news" this year?
Will it be as interesting as last year when you announced that you had merged with White Wolf, where walking in stations and promising a World of Darkness MMO?
I got a friend in the press business that isnt going this year since you havent announced anything interestign in a press point of view yet... Will it be worth for them to attend this year?
And allso... Whatever happened to those cool printed maps that where circling around last year? They where awsome and some of us have been waiting since Revelations to get our hands on a copy...

For those of you who asked us about Fanfest packages from London, Icelandair has now added packages for 4 and 5 nights, the 2 nights package remains but if you don't want to miss the last Fanfest day you'll need at least 4 nights. This also gives you some time to visit other sites in Iceland and Reykjavik of course.

I was looking over the bus schedule for Straeto system. I can guess most from using the bus system in US cities most of the information, but I'm not sure what 'Min. yfir Heila Klst' is supposed to mean. I'm guessing either how often the bus comes, or travel time along the route. But I have a hard time believing it is within an accuracy of minutes and seconds

'Min. yfir Heila Klst' means "minutes past the hour" and they are referring when the bus arrives. If the bus arrives 15-35-55 than that means it always arrives 15 minutes past, 35 minutes past and 55 minutes past. You can also just use the english version of the system at http://www.bus.is/?c=forsida2

With the addition of WW, are there any plans at all to have a US-based fanfest? I'm not sure what the percentages are across span of subscribers that reside in the US, but I would imagine it's got to be a big slice of pie.
I'm not even the hardcore Ever'r I used to be, but I'd still make a weekend out of a US Eve fanfest. You should hold it some place central, like Saint Louis.
...and not just because I live in Saint Louis.

The point of hosting a Fanfest Live Dev Blog would be to have people ask questions about the Fanfest. Live Dev Blogs are always about a certain topic, not a ask the devs random questions event...

I don't believe so, but anything can happen in the future. Although considering our US office is in Atlanta I'm guessing that's where it would be held.

I can understand that if you arnt a hardcore EVEr'r anymore you find less intresst in going to Iceland for a couple of days, a week... But if you where a hardcore EVEr'r it shouldnt be a problem justifying the 900 dollars (Seattle - Miniapolis - Reykjavik and back) for a flight to get to the Fan Fest... The hotel on the other hand could be quite steep if you are looking at Nordica and quality around there... But I'm sure there are cheaper options...
And I am allso a bit against having a US based official Fan Fest unless they do one in Europe aswell, I know Iceland is part of Europe but if its any comfort its allmost as hard to get to Iceland from most parts in Europe as it is from for example Seattle... Except the total traveltime ofcourse... But part of what makes the Fan Fest so special and fun is that it is "on top of the world"... There is quite the magic attatched with going to Iceland for a game event...
So in my eyes the best thing is if you, your corp or someone else who is US based arrange there own Fan Fest and send an invitation or request to the Atlanta office for them to attend... I am sure that there are many CCP employes who wouldnt mind having a business trip (read: payed vecation) to somewhere in the US... Despite what most people say and think about the US, most of it is very nice and friendly...

I would recommend ordering earlier than that to securing your Fanfest Access Pass. We generally pack these things ahead of the Fanfest so I'm not sure how long the ordering is available.
Originally by: General StarScream or is it a set limet on amount of passes sold? and a pre time you need to order befor,???
The Fanfest location can only take so many people, and that's where the limit is. As I said above, I would recommend that you order in advance and not on the very last day, since we can't guarantee that it will stay open. You will also need to order flight and hotel in advance so you might as well order the access pass then.
Originally by: General StarScream and whats the adress to the fan fest partplace, i would like to find my own hotel, i dont like 4 stars, 2/3 stars are offen alot better.
Laugardalsh÷ll Engjavegur 8 104 Reykjavik
Originally by: General StarScream what do we get from the 70 bux the ticket cost?
Access to the Fanfest and all different activities there.
Originally by: General StarScream do we get free beer, dinner, girls, weed, drinks, more bear, junk food, and a get out of jail free card.
No.
Originally by: General StarScream And LoL do they really use isk in iceland as currency?
Yes, ISK stands for -slensk kr=na or Icelandic krona which is the currency used in Iceland, our in game ISK, or InterStellar Kredit, actually comes from the real worl ISK.

What actions will CCP take against players breaching the EULA during the Fan Fest?
Originally by: EULA Section 7b The buying, selling or auctioning (or any attempt at doing so) of characters, character attributes, items, currency, or objects, whether through online auctions (such as ebay), newsgroups, postings on message boards or any other means is prohibited by the EULA and a violation of CCP's proprietary rights in the Game.
Sureley there will be many players buying ISK for real money during there trip to Iceland... Will CCP cast a blind eye to this or will we see small notes stating "Illigal isk retracted" in our wallet or on the barcheck? Sureley the whole -slensk kr=na or Icelandic krona must be some marketing jibberish cooked up by Magnus Bergsson and his marketing devision to work as a cleaver workaround to decive the hard working GMs...
And now on to a more serious question... Will Magnus hold his marketin rountable this year aswell? I remember his being the best table by far last year... Was so much more fun than talking about 101 ways to make POSes worse...

EDIT: ok I found a link by digging back in thist thread. Note to admins. You can't get to that page by navigating on the web-site (or at least I couldn't), you just get sent straight to all the info.
I know, you first have to go to the Fanfest page, from there to the Icelandair packages page and from there to the Access pass page. It's a bit like IKEA, you have to go through the whole labyrinth.

As you said it it: the game is the hobby. That does not mean we are not social people! And so we band together once a year. "Friends" meet "foes" over a cold beer, have a happy chats with the devs, and simply having plain fun! I am using the terms friends and foes in quotas too, since it is just INGAME and not in RL! The fun of the game actually lies in the interaction between the "Friends" and the "foes". Either on the battlefield or as competitors on the industrial side
Ok, I have to agree its a little corny seeing people dressing up in costumes etc and do acting. Did not happend in EVE FF though except for some of the crew getting up in costumes. There where no actings though, thankfully.
When it comes to the cost. Yes, it costs money! But have you been on Iceland? Have you visited the Blue Lagoon? Iceland is a wonderful country! Well worth visiting! So take out a vacation on 5-6 days! Spend a few days with your EVE friends, maybe even go on sightseeing together too in Iceland!Who said that ingame friends just need to stay ingame? Or, buy a Sister pass, CCP have introduces, and bring your girlfriend/Wife/Husband/whatever!
So I can list up many things making it worth going to Iceland!
Socializing with your ingame friends EVE! Devs! Beers! (YAY!!) Iceland! Vacation! Blue Lagoon!
We aint EVE Fanatics! We just love the game! Want to Socialize and meet people, plus enjoying Iceland, which is truly spectacular! I was there last year, and I know what I speak about!

Just something for anyone aiming to use credit cards/ bankcards in iceland .... most banks have flags on card use so if u use it somewhere where u wouldn't usually then they might put a referral or block on it.... alot of times even though a referral just means the business you are using it at just need to phone the bank sometimes inexperienced staff might think it is a block and refuse your card....
you can stop this from happening by contacting your bank/creditcard supplier and letting them know you will be in iceland between ( give them the dates you intend to be there)
This is well worth doing as the last thing you want to happen is too find yourself with out access too money

Originally by: Aluthin Just something for anyone aiming to use credit cards/ bankcards in iceland .... most banks have flags on card use so if u use it somewhere where u wouldn't usually then they might put a referral or block on it.... alot of times even though a referral just means the business you are using it at just need to phone the bank sometimes inexperienced staff might think it is a block and refuse your card....
you can stop this from happening by contacting your bank/creditcard supplier and letting them know you will be in iceland between ( give them the dates you intend to be there)
This is well worth doing as the last thing you want to happen is too find yourself with out access too money
For those of us from the United States, this is VERY important. Transactions are monitored VERY closely these days (at least the ones at my Credit Union) and I have had my account frozen and charges declined after "suspicious" activity has occurred (like when i bought my FanFest travel package! LOL).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call your financial institution ahead of time to prevent any tragedies from occurring. It might be a good idea to get your bank's international toll-free number (if they have one) JUST in case.

Originally by: Blood Bathroom ok, no offence to anyone , but this is crazy a bunch of ppl going to a fan fest for eve! wake up ppl its a video game, its a hobby not life. and half the ppl going prob used to make fun of those nerdy kids in high school about dungeons and dragons, yet ur even worse. whats next u gonna dress ur car up as an ibis to attend? look i like the game and all but this is going over the edge. starting to remind me of those trekky conventions lol. anyway like i said the games good but u couldnt pay me to go. plus why u chargeing ur fans for passes? if anything they should b free ( ppl coming from diff countrys, costs lots of $$$)
It's no worse than a convention/conference for sci-fi movies, comic books, model airplanes, or any other activity that people spend a lot of time doing.
Truth be told, if the FanFest was in Saint Louis or Cleveland, I probably wouldn't go. That it is in Iceland makes it much more exotic for this Yank.

Edited by: Stylom on 16/10/2007 13:13:09 Myself a mate are getting into Iceland at Midnight on Wednesday 31st October. We'll be dumping the bags at the digs and then heading out on the lash. Should be ready to hit the bars about 1am.
Could someone recomend a half decent bar where a couple of middle aged Brits could sink a gallon of quafe without a load of Scandinavian Techno killing our elderly ear drums?
Better still would be if anyone is also getting there on the Wednesday night. Maybe we could arrange a pre-fanfest late night beer drinking & eve ranting session
Mail me in game - or post in reply please
EDIT: I just read up about people having problems getting UK to Iceland packages sorted for 4 nights. I phoned up Iceland Air and booked a package through them. I am sure it was a more expensive than the early bird package deals but I did leave it pretty late in the day to book up. It costs circa ú400 a person including flights taxes, airport transfers, 4 nights room with breakfast at the Park Inn (close to Nordica). The lady at Iceland Air was very helpful spoke perfect english and is called Eva.

I have a question regarding ordering of the fanfest access pass via the store.
How long does it take to get your confirmation e-mail? I tried to buy a ticket on Saturday with no e-mail or any indication that there was a problem.
I've petitioned, asking for some help and whether I should try again, but I'm not getting a reply on my petition either! Most frustrating. I don't want to keep trying and end up with 15 tickets.
Anyone else had/having similar problems?

Ok, first of all you should check your email, including any spam and junk folders you may have. Then check with your bank to make sure the purchase went through and money was withdrawn. If it's not anywhere in your email folders and the money was used, send me an email containing the name and email you used to order and I'll get the confirmation email resent.

also what are the taxi prices like??
Taxis are quite expensive , a taxi ride from Lµkjartorg( party central ) to Laugardalur( fanfest area , nordica hotel , grand hotel , cabin hotel) will set you back around 1500 Kr.

If so I didnt get that it just went back to the first ordering page where it lets you select how many tickets you want.Havent recived the conformation email either.
I petitioned as a billing problem shortly after no responce as of yet but its only been bout half a day. Should i leave it open atm or would it be better to email you?

You should follow the steps in my post above, and make sure you didn't get it to a spam folder, and also make sure you paid for it. If no money was taken you can just try to order again. If you havent recieved an email anywhere and the money has been withdrawn from your bank, email me with the name and email you used to order the access pass.

The Nordica Vox bar is not too bad, if you don¦t mind hotel bars. Hotel is part of the Hilton chain now, see: http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/KEFHFHI-Hilton-Reykjavik-Nordica/index.do;jsessionid=B1382355C64B698ECE657DB4C564F33A.etc44?brand_id=HI&brand_directory=/en/hi/&xch=85595742,HHD2YLUSI2WKQCSGBJBNMQQ

TICKET AVAILABLE!
bought one ticket to the fanfest but will actually be in Barcelona. Please reply here or send me email in game if you are interested. CCP can not offer any assistance to people who can¦t attent but have already bought tickets so I¦m trying this method.
P.s. I live in Iceland but I leave on the morning of the 1st of Nov. So if you come before that time, we can meet up and exchange.
Price of ticket is the same.

Can anybody recommend some good websites to pick up the local lingo. I would like to at least attend fan fest with some words of Icelandic.
Handy things like "hello", "Can I get directions to X?", "How much is that?" and "You are very cute, Would you like to come back to my hotel room?"

Not sure how it will be at the fanfest site itself - the one at the sportshall - but Iknow for sure Nordica hotell have internet access. Ask at the service desk when checking in and they will hand you a cable for use at your room. From the hall itself at the hotell you can use wireless.

If I remember right, someone in this thread - somewhere - promised with the next update of the map to set Nordica hotel on the map.
For information: Nordica hotell is in the "same building" as Pizza Hut which is marked on the map! The Vox Restaurant at the hotell is ok too, but I prefer Pizza Hut

I think you need to take a long hike through a jungle to find a mountain spring waterfall with a hermit meditating in to find better water... So its more than drinkable... But where you planing on dinking water while there?

Im staying at the Nordica in a Double room, and those rooms are superb! I know, I stayed in one last year too! So unless you are spoilded to the moon and back, the business room should be comfortable enough

Actually, if you drink the unfiltered version it smells like rotten egg, the bigger hotels filter the water though so you'll just taste the minerals like everyone else if you're staying at a hotel. It is perfectly safe to drink though.

I've got a question about 2008 Fanfest date. Yes, I know it s far away but some friends are trying to arrange their vacation time now so there aren't any issues. Someone said the Fanfest is usually the first weekend of Nov, well for 2008 the 1st of Nov is a Saturday. So will it fall on that weekend or the next one? :)

Plus for Eve players with families, missing out on Halloween with kids can be a real deal breaker in terms of attending. ;)
As you said, it is usually the first weekend in November, but there's nothing we can really say beyond that since nothing has been decided yet.

It should start around noon, Thursday is mainly registration with various events, the really big stuff takes place on Friday and Saturday.

We can't really put up an unfinished schedule, my best guess is that it'll come up at some point next week.
Also, there's no point in coming to the office since we won't give any tours.

Regular package im afraid shes more interested in the shopping, sauna, manicure things and tbh the booking was a little confusing as i expected a option to tick on the orginal fanfest ticket form didnt ralise till afterwards that is was a seperate link unfortunately.
But im sure she will enjoy the fanfest and the Iceland experience all the same :)

Regular package im afraid shes more interested in the shopping, sauna, manicure things and tbh the booking was a little confusing as i expected a option to tick on the orginal fanfest ticket form didnt ralise till afterwards that is was a seperate link unfortunately.
But im sure she will enjoy the fanfest and the Iceland experience all the same :)
We might be able to exchange her Fanfest Pass for a Sisters pass if she's interested? It includes everyting in the link above and entry to the Fanfest area after 18.00.

You'll need to email me your name, the name of your spouse and the order number used to purchase the access passes. Since it's so close to the Fanfest I can't promise I'll be able to exchange the ticket, but there's no harm in at least trying.

Buying the fanfest ticket may not be a issue (see link on eve home page to right of screen)
but i had a helluva time getting a flight and room due to the lateness of my booking (had to use a no frills flight which im led to believe has no catering but possibly is sitting on a wing)
also ive noticed the hotel prices have gone up in price considerably :(

There's a list of flight and hotel packages here, since it's so late you should go there immediately and try book it. After that, you can go here and purchase the Fanfest access pass.

Honestly, whats the point of watching this match when everyone knows that Arsenal will beat Man United big time. No, its safe to say you wont find me in front of a tv watching this match. I will be in the bar (and celebrating Arsenals victory) with the rest of the EVErs

Trak: I'm sure we can locate a good sport bar for the match, but I think it's on the same time as Oveurs presentation on Saturday. So you might have to pick...
NereSky: You can at least take your wife to the Blue Lagoon on the official EVE Fanfest trip there. The price is cheaper than if you would organize it yourself. I highly recommend it.
Chribba: You don't have to worry about the dark, the lagoon is lid up and it's quite spectacular both when it's dark or during day. Right now I would prefer visiting the lagoon in the dark because I've seen northern lights in the last few days, and that's something that's worth photographing.

You can use Iceland Excursions, depending on where you're staying you can talk to the hotel reception about booking those tours and probably other things to do while in Iceland. But as Darth Beta said, she should take the Blue Lagoon trip with us on Thursday.

Argh. May I submit a humble suggestion for CCP not to announce sponsored events less than two weeks before Fanfest. I had already paid for an Tuesday evening trip to the Blue Lagoon through Icelandair. If I had known about the CCP-sponsored trip, I could have tried to cancel the other.
I haven't had any time to do any character portrait compositing either. I wish I'd known about it sooner.

It was announced as soon as it was ready, but if you booked with Iceland Excursions you should be able to cancel it as long as it's done 24 hours ahead of the tour.

You'll need some form of picture ID like passport or similar, and if you got the pass from someone else (ie you didn't buy it directly from us in your name) you'll also need proof that the person sold or gave it to you.

You purchase the ticket at the Registration desk at Fanfest, I believe there will be enough places for everyone who wishes to go, since we will close down the Fanfest venue. I don't know who is driving, but it will be a professional bus driver.

When the last speech is over and everything has been discussed at the roundtables for the day, when the last lingering Fanfest attendees are preparing to leave after a day full of events and the Fanfest starts closing for the day, the night in Reykjavik is still young! We'd like to invite everyone to join us at the (in)famous Glaumbar for a pint of beer... or ten. If you bring your Fanfest access pass and show it at the bar you'll get a special discount on beer!
This offer is valid for the entire duration of the Fanfest, but we'd also like to invite all early arrivers to join us at Glaumbar on Wednesday evening, for a pre Fanfest beer. Glaumbar will open at 18.00 local time (GMT).
We will make the Fanfest brochure downloadable before Glaumbar opens, it contains a map of Reykjavik with Glaumbar pointed out. You can also ask the hotel reception or simply take a taxi to it.

Hopefully I didn't screw myself out of an additional place to socialize with players by getting a room at Hotel Cabin. Or if not socialize then at least have the ability to potentially travel exotic Reykjavik in some semblance of a group departing from a central location.

Just an update here for those of you who arrived or are arriving today, you will get your Fanfest Access passes at the Fanfest venue on Thursday. We will open at 11.00 GMT (local time) and you will be able to register then. The access passes can not be obtained at your hotel, and it can not be obtained earlier!
While we are setting up today the Fanfest has not yet opened and you won't be able to register or access the Fanfest venue.

There appears to have been some confusion regarding Glaumbar. After the Fanfest closes on Thursday, Friday and Saturday you will be able to go there and get a discount for beer if you show them your Fanfest Access Pass.
However, we also invited everyone arriving early to come over to Glaumbar on Wednesday evening as a place to gather, but you won't be able to get any discount on beer until Thursday since you won't get your Fanfest Access Pass until Thursday.

Of course there will be the Party At The Top Of The WorldÖ on Saturday evening, you have to keep in mind that the Icelandic party evening ends somewhere around 07.00 the next day, so those who aren't tired after our party can head over to Glaumbar.

Mmm just checked the program, kinda crap that I'll be missing at least 3 things because the Icelandair package doesn't get me to the airport till 15.40.
I would have figured if you got the icelandair pacakage you wouldn't miss anything cause nothing started on thursday that early. Maybe something to look out for next year.

Edited by: Lifson on 01/11/2007 21:20:19 I've just spent my first day at an EVE Online FanFest, after a 4am start out from England! Great fun :-) I love the missions thing! I'm working on my Level 2s tomorrow, and will hopefully get my 3s done too. The beer/pizza deals are a fantastic idea, and Eris's talk was cool (and very funny). The only downside is the weather (3 degrees C warmest so far - driving rain and snow) but it's an indoor event - so who cares!
Anyone not here? You're missing out. Big time.
(PS. Try the half-rotted shark. It's nice. Just make sure you have a whole pack of gum with you if you expect anyone to stand within 10ft of you afterwards!)
(PPS. Watch out for Whisper's nerf-hammer)

Moar agentmissions! mmm shark.
I do hope to talk to some more devs tommorow however. Any dev on the forum here that want to volunteer for some massive brownnose-receiving?
Hammerhead looks a freakishly lot like me & I haven't seen Oveur yet. But dang theres a lot of devs running around. Seems like half the ppl there have a dev-tag around their neck

Just got back, had an awesome time, very nice to meet a bunch of dev's in the round tables, the lectures we're interesting and Iceland is cold! :P
I'll be there next year (that is if my love for eve won't die or CCP decides not to do the fanfest) but I'll go for a week and see some of Iceland too :)
Thanks for the good times CCP.
